Not that easy as your start pattern occurs multiple times. For your sample, adapting your first attempt:
Code:
tac file | sed  '/ccc/,/aaa/{/^ *$/d;}' | tac
aaa 409
bbb 201

122 0.98
aaa 1.47
aaa 0.00
aaa 0.00
ccc 0.00
121 0.01
135 1.99

Are multiple end patterns ("ccc") possible?


EDIT: or

Code:
sed -zr 's/(aaa[^\n]*)\n\n([^\n]*ccc)/\1\n\2/' file
aaa 409
bbb 201

122 0.98
aaa 1.47
aaa 0.00
aaa 0.00
ccc 0.00
121 0.01
135 1.99
